Illusions

"Illusions" by Ivan Vyrypaev — a tragicomedy about love, memory and the human need to believe in one's own version of the truth. Directed by Neno Kojnarski; translation: Neva Mircheva; scenography: Yasmin Mandelli; producer: Artitude. Cast: Antony Penev, Boyan Petrov, Vanessa Peyankova, Jacqueline Daskalova. Two family couples, more than fifty years of shared life, memories, promises, confessions and secrets. Four people who should know each other better than anyone else. But what does it actually mean to know someone? In Vyrypaev's world, love is not as simple as it seems. What we take for truth may turn out to be self-delusion. Betrayal can be loyalty. One and the same life can look completely different depending on the person who tells it. "Illusions" does not ask whether love is real. It asks something much more uncomfortable: does it matter whether it is real, if we have believed in it all our lives? Duration: 90 min. Age: 12+. Comedy.
